We had a really comfortable stay at Kanomping's Airbnb in Ari area for 2 months during our workation in Bangkok. We would highly recommend this place for anyone who is looking for a clean and spacious room for longer stay in Bangkok as other condo rooms typically are small size and less work-from-home friendly - more details below:
We found the room spacious, clean, well furnished which had been good for the 2 of us who work from home during our stay. The room is located in a quiet part of Ari which is good, if you are often on calls/video calls. The room has 2 tables and a sofa which you can also use for work (one of the tables was big enough for a laptop + desktop monitor + keyboard set-up).
Our room had 2 balconies which were perfect for getting some fresh air or hang our cloth out in the sun.
While the kitchen area itself was small, we were provided with an electric kettle, an electric pot, a microwave and a mini-oven which had been perfect for all kind of re-heating of take-out meals (or simple cooking like oven some corn or sweet potatoes).
Kanomping has been a very attentive and responsive host, we were also provided with weekly cleaning which include room cleaning and change of towels/beddings - a very good service for longstay. Our check-in and check-out was also smooth and went without any trouble.
We love Ari area for a few reasons:
- Food: there are a lot of great cafes and restaurants for us to try. If you are into local food and local market then Saphan Kwai / Phadiphat market is within an extended walking distance
- Coffee: there are at least 2-3 good coffee places within 3 minutes walk from Kanomping's place, and many more in Ari area
- Grocery: while 7-11 is almost right across the street, you can talk walk to Market Villa or Big C Saphan Kwai for groceries
The apartment's location is great and quiet, and it worked out really well for us. However, we love walking and we are avid users of services like UberEat/Deliveroo equivalent (GrabTaxi/ GrabFood). We would describe the apartment as within walking distance from Ari's BTS station but it is not the shortest walk, especially under Thailand weather - still, this is a small price to pay in exchange for a clean, spacious and well furnished room.
